The Translation Group of the of Special Information Service Departament of the National Information Center of Medical Sciences (CNICM-Infomed in Spanish) has developed the Project for the creation of the Multilingual Glossary of Medical Terms in five languages (German, English, French, Portuguese and Spanish). The objective of the Project is to collect medical terms frequently used by translators, difficult-to-translate terms on account of their complexity and other terms that might cause confusion at the time of translating them. This glossary shows the definitions of terms in all the above-mentioned languages and represents an information resource not only for translators in the health care sector in Cuba but also for the users of our network. It is also a tool that makes the understanding of the scientific and medical literature easier.
